Chapter 39
"Yes, ma'am."
Juxian Building is an integrated restaurant for eating and living, the restaurant rooms are divided into ordinary rooms and first-class rooms, ordinary rooms are one or two silver a day, and the first-class rooms are ten taels a day, Ye Lan couldn't help but stick out her tongue after hearing this, the consumption in the capital is different, the silver in the first-class room is her pocket money for a month, so she and Qiao Zi don't seem to be rich, she only thinks that ordinary people live in a year as long as ten taels, but she didn't think that this is the capital, the cost can't be calculated with low standards, I knew that I should ask Ye Yu for more.
"Let's give our mother and daughter a normal room." Qiao Zi thought that there would be a lot of money to spend in the future, and if she could, she would save it.
"I'm really embarrassed madam, our ordinary rooms are full, and only the first-class rooms are left." The second brother said politely, very professional, and he didn't change color at all because Qiao Zi said that he wanted to live in an ordinary room.
"Then give us a superior room." Thinking about the management of Juxian Building, Qiao Zi reluctantly asked for a first-class room.
"Okay, Madame, please." Xiao Er took all the packages for Qiao Zi and Ye Lan, and led the way upstairs, the first-class guest room started with Tianzi, and Ye Lan's mother and daughter were taken to Tianzi No. 8,
"Miss Madam, this is your room, Xiao Er's surname is Qiu, known as Qiu Xiao Er, if the two of you are in need, just shake the bedside bell, and Xiao Er will go upstairs to listen to the two orders."
"Okay, you go down first, we'll call you if there's something."
"Okay." Qiu Xiaoer nodded and left, and was kind enough to close the door for Qiao Zi and the others.
"Lan'er, are you tired, do you want to rest for a while." Seeing Xiao Er leave, Qiao Zi looked back at her daughter and looked at the room, and couldn't help asking.
"I'm not tired." Ye Lan looked at the room curiously, this Tianzi room is very spacious, Juxian Building should be an ancient version of a five-star restaurant, the antique decoration makes her like it very much, and Xiao Er's attitude is also very comfortable.
"By the way, mother, our packages are too obvious, take advantage of these days, let's go to the pawnshop and exchange these things for silver tickets."
"Yes, okay." Qiao Zi looked at her daughter with a smile, she wanted to go with herself, knowing that wealth could not be revealed, she was really a smart child,
"That's what my mother thinks too."
"Then do you know, which pawnshop in this capital has a better reputation?"
"I don't know, why don't you call the second brother to ask in a while?"
"Okay, he stays in the restaurant every day to receive all kinds of guests, and he must be able to hear a lot of gossip." Ye Lan nodded in agreement and shook the bedside bell,
"I'll call him."
She wanted to see when Qiu Xiaoer would be able to get here after she rang the bell.
"Madam, Miss, what, little Qiu Xiaoer."
Ye Lan calculated in her own time, and in less than half a minute, Qiu Xiaoer's voice appeared at the door.
"Pretty well." Glancing at Qiao Zi, Ye Lan muttered, "Come in." ”
"Madame, what do you command?" Qiu Xiaoer pushed the door in and said respectfully.
"Little second brother, we want to ask you something." Ye Lan said.
"Miss, please speak."
"My mother and I have a batch that doesn't like fine and soft, and I want to dispose of it and replace it with silver, do you have any good suggestions?"
Qiu Xiaoer said respectfully when he heard this, "It depends on the meaning of Mrs. and Miss, if you don't want to ask for this batch of soft again, there are two ways, one is to go to the pawnshop to die, and the other is to go to your shopping store or the same type of store to ask them to recycle, such as gold, silver and jewelry, most gold and silver jewelry stores will have recycling, if you sell it from your own store, the recycling price will be more expensive than outside, if Mrs. Miss wants to get back this batch of soft in the future, then go to the pawnshop to work." ”
"We have a lot of things, and it's more troublesome to recycle them in the store, these things we don't like, and it's annoying to put them at home, so let's just die, little second brother, do you know what are the more fair pawnshops in this capital that don't deceive customers?"
"Miss, this can be regarded as asking the right person, although Xiao Er I stay in this restaurant every day, but I am very familiar with this capital affairs, our Juxian Building is the first building in the capital, it is full of people every day, and everyone eats and chats about the topic, nothing about the capital, Xiao Er has heard a lot, and he has written down a lot, to say that the reputation of this capital is relatively good and the strength is also strong, there are three ......" mentioned that he knows things, Qiu Xiaoer intends to show himself in front of the beautiful lady and the lovely lady, that is really the way, detailed explanation,
"Mrs. Miss entered our restaurant, that is, our restaurant guests, our restaurant has regulations, everything may meet the requirements of the guests, if Mrs. Miss is inconvenient to go out, or it is inconvenient to come forward, we can deal with it on behalf of Mrs. Miss until everything is done, and we can guarantee that the pawnshop gives the price, which is absolutely reasonable."
"Will you keep our information confidential?"
"Absolute confidentiality." Qiu Xiaoer patted his chest and promised.
"Then if we ask you to do it, what will we have to pay?" Ye Lan asked, but she didn't expect this ancient restaurant to have such a service.
"This is our restaurant service, according to the regulations we can't ask for tips from guests, but if Mrs. Miss is kind and willing to give some, Xiao Er is grateful."
"Since this is the case, then leave this matter to the little second brother, the little second brother can rest assured, after the matter is completed, we will never lose the little second brother, as for our information, we must ask the little second brother to keep it secret." Qiao Zi looked at Xiao Er happily, she didn't have to come forward to handle this matter, it was naturally good, she and Lan'er already had a lot of money, if they took the soft things around them, it would be a lot of money, and if it fell into the eyes of someone with a heart, it would definitely cause inconvenience.
"Thanks to the trust of Mrs., the reputation of the official family above the second grade is guaranteed, and it will definitely live up to the trust of Mrs. Hearing Qiao Zi say this, Xiao Er was also very happy, and he had something to earn again.
For services like their restaurant, on the surface, it is stipulated that the second child cannot ask the guests for tips, but most of the guests will take the initiative to give, so generally when this kind of thing happens, the second child of the restaurant is very happy to help.
Asked Qiao Zi about to be a thing, Xiao Er had a number in his heart, so he went to invite the shopkeeper of the pawnshop who had a relationship with the restaurant, this is a mutually beneficial process, when the restaurant has a big customer, Xiao Er recommended the pawnshop to the customer, the pawnshop received something and made money, and gave a little favor, all of them were happy.
Of course, the customer will also get a more reasonable price, after all, Xiao Er's words and deeds represent the Shangguan family, if there is a problem with Xiao Er's recommendation of the pawnshop, it will be spread out in the future, and it will be lost to the face of the Shangguan family, so this kind of self-slapping face, if you have a brain, you will not do it, and the general pawnshop does not dare to joke with the reputation of the Shangguan family.
With the help of the little second brother, Qiao Zi and Ye Lan went out with a few big bags of fine and soft very simply, and took a more satisfactory price, Qiao Zi generously handed the little two hundred taels of silver tickets, and the little second brother thanked him for his kindness, and served Qiao Zi and Ye Langa warmly and thoughtfully.
I didn't sleep all night last night, and I didn't have time to make up for sleep during the day today, Ye Lan is more like a ten-year-old child's body, and she can't hold it anymore after dinner, she doesn't want to do anything, she just wants to sleep well,
"Mother, let's sleep."
"Okay." Qiao Zi turned off the lights and slept with her daughter, she and Ye Lan also didn't sleep all night, but now they still didn't feel sleepy, in the dark, gloomy and sad, fifteen years of husband and wife relationship has entered the bones, even if they have been reconciled, but it is not that they can forget it.
After a while, there was the sound of her daughter's breathing in her ears, Qiao Zi got up, walked to the window in the dark, and opened a crack, this window was just facing Ye Mansion, Qiao Zi looked ahead, and tears flowed silently......
Ye Lan woke up early the next morning, had a good night's sleep, and was satisfied to stretch her waist, this is the time she slept peacefully after passing through, she wanted to look at Qiao Zi sideways, but there was no figure of her, she was startled, and quickly got up, and found Qiao Zi standing in front of the window stupidly, looking sad.
Ye Lan had never been in love in her previous life, and she couldn't experience the feeling of losing her lover, but the sad appearance of her mother when she lost her father in her previous life was very similar to Qiao Zixian's expression.
Although one is lost forever and the other is separated, for Qiao Zi, being reconciled with her husband is not much different from losing him forever.
Looking at Qiao Zi's appearance, I'm afraid she hasn't slept all night, Ye Lan remembers that her mother cried silently behind her back in her previous life, Qiao Zi probably didn't want to see her sad appearance.
Thinking so, Ye Lan quietly lay back on the bed, then squinted her eyes and deliberately sneezed very loudly to attract Qiao Zi's attention, and when she saw her coming over, she immediately closed her eyes and moved around on the bed pretending to wake up, only to see Qiao Zi quickly wipe her eyes, touch her face, and then walk to the bed and take her clothes and pretend to have just gotten up.
Sure enough, she didn't want to let herself see her sad appearance.
Ye Lan moved, didn't open her eyes in time, and waited until Qiao Zi got dressed, combed her hair, and had enough time to adjust her emotions, she pretended to have just woken up,
"Mother's ......"
"Lan'er woke up, did you sleep well last night?" Hearing Ye Lan's shout, Qiao Zi hurriedly walked over and smiled softly.
"Well, I slept very soundly, the bed in this restaurant is extremely comfortable, no wonder it is a first-class room, it feels similar to my home." Ye Lan smiled,
"Where's my mother?"
"My mother also slept very comfortably."
"Really?" Ye Lan lowered her eyelids to hide her emotions.
"It's already dawn, Lan'er should get up, it's almost time to make breakfast." Qiao Zi didn't notice her daughter's abnormality, and she didn't know that everything she had been seen by her daughter.
"Okay." Ye Lan got up and took her clothes to wear.
Qiao Zi shook the bell and asked Xiao Er to come up, originally intending to let him bring the toiletry water, but he didn't expect him to bring it directly, it seemed that he had guessed her intentions.
"Miss Madame, our restaurant has a free breakfast for guests in the upper class room, does Miss Madam want to order another meal or use the hotel for free breakfast?"
"What's your breakfast giveaway?"
"We have three options: porridge and buns, noodles, soy milk and fried dough sticks." Qiu Xiaoer was as enthusiastic as yesterday.
"Lan'er, what do you want to eat?" Qiao Zi turned her head to ask her daughter's opinion, but found that her daughter had combed her nondescript hairstyle, and she suddenly cried and laughed.
"Lan'er, what is your comb?"
"Mother, I don't know how to comb." Ye Lan was a little distressed, Xiao Lan'er grew up in a honey pot, and she had a girl waiting for her since she was a child, and she really couldn't comb her hair, and she wouldn't lose the ancient head style, so she could only tie her hair up casually with a rope, just like a modern ponytail, but with a classical face and classical clothes, it was a little strange.
"Let my mother come." Qiao Zi walked over and untied Ye Lan's ponytail, and skillfully combed her hair, "What do you want to eat, I'll let the little second brother bring it up." ”
"Does my mother want to eat in the room, Ke Lan'er wants to go downstairs to eat." Ye Lan looked at Qiao Zi through the bronze mirror.
"Lan'er wants to go downstairs to eat?" There was a hint of hesitation in Qiao Zi's eyes, she didn't want to appear in a crowded place.
"If my mother doesn't want to go downstairs, then let Ye Lan go downstairs alone, Ye Lan will come upstairs after breakfast, okay, mother?"
"Why do you want to go downstairs and eat?"
"It's more lively downstairs."
"Hehe, what a lively child, I'm afraid I can't change this temperament." Qiao Zi chuckled when she heard this, and didn't insist anymore, "Okay, you go downstairs to eat, and come up after eating, you know?" ”
"Well, Ye Lan knows, mother, you eat in a room alone, you have to take the little second brother and eat it all, you can't go hungry."
"Okay." Qiao Zi nodded with a smile and said to Qiu Xiaoer, "Little Second Brother, please send me breakfast to the room, just give me a small bowl of porridge and a bun." ”
"Alas, okay, what does Miss need, Xiao Er will prepare first." Qiu Xiaoer nodded with a smile.
"I want porridge and buns too." Ye Lan said.
"Okay, Madame, please wait." Qiu Xiaoer ran down quickly, the breakfast in the restaurant was prepared in advance, he took a bowl of porridge, took a bun and brought it to Qiao Zi upstairs, just as Ye Lan's hair was also done, after washing, he told Qiao Zi that he must finish eating, and went downstairs with the second brother.
The first floor is the dining area, when Ye Lan went downstairs, there were already some people dining in the hall, she found a corner to sit down, Qiu Xiaoer brought her breakfast and let her serve others when it was full.
Ye Lan drank the porridge slowly, her ears were secretly pricked up, listening to the people in the hall talking while eating breakfast, to see what she could hear, a diner suddenly said what she wanted to hear, Ye Lan immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
"Have you heard, Ye Mansion is going to give alms for a month, and outside the West City Gate, many people are running over there early in the morning."
"Isn't it, it's written on the bulletin boards all over the city, who doesn't know about it."
"Alas, you say it's not strange, Ye Fu is giving, why do you specifically indicate that it is in the name of Qiao Zi? Who is Qiao Zi? ”
"Qiao Zi, you don't know, fifteen years ago, her wedding with Ye Mansion's second young master Ye Fanhua shocked the entire capital, she is the second young lady of Ye Mansion."
"Oh, it turned out to be her, alas, don't say that this Qiao Zi is really lucky, I heard that she was originally the daughter of a tenant, and later married Ye Fanhua, first a concubine, and was turned into a wife after giving birth to a son, over the years, Ye Fanhua has never taken a concubine, and he cares about her very much, as a woman, she is really lucky."
"Alas, I said that your news is outdated, don't you know about the marriage between the two Yema families, don't you know what happened at the gate of Yefu yesterday morning?"
"I've heard about the marriage between the two families of Yema, but I don't know if this news is true or not, what happened at the gate of Yefu yesterday morning?"
